yesterday one of the gals that worked with me on the saladmaking team told me of a recipe a cake that didn't have eggs or fat in it so of course I asked her what it had in it....pork sausage.....hm says I thinks that is something that I will have to taste without knowing what is in it ....so the question is what is the strangest recipe or food you have either heard of or tasted?

I just read this one.
I first tasted this unique dish when I was about 10 years old. It is Moose Nose Soup. It's considered a delicacy for the elders in my nation. First you need a moose nose and its tongue. Burn and scrape the hair off the nose on a open camp fire or use a blow torch. Cut the nose and tongue into cubes and boil for about an hour. Add onions if you wish. I enjoyed this soup, but people find it gross. Well you're missing out.
If you are dieting and want to do things that will cut your appetite ----- right before mealtime, go to this website. That'll ruin your appetite and you'll forget the eating plan!! Hahahaha!

I, personally used to eat scrambled eggs and brains with my Daddy... I was the only one of his four kids who would eat weird things with him. He and I were thick as thieves in all things! Wouldn't touch it now! Grin.
Happy RVing!

I swear Joella, you need your own show!!! I ate a old egg once, in an anthropology class, it was wrapped in dung....got an A in the class! My sister puts hominy in chili, but that's about it for me.

I am the proud owner of "The Treasury of White Trash Cooking." It was a gift as few years ago when we moved to Alabama. The chili recipe in the this book calls for grits. Believe it or not - no one would ever know. Different region like different foods together. Kentucky has chili spaghetti. A friend in Alabama serves chili atop rice. Being the product of Texas parents, I love fried everything.

Joella! Moose Nose Soup? Remember when everyone thought I was crazy because I'll eat Mountain Oysters! So I guess that's the strangest thing that I have ever eaten. BTW Sheila I googled cake recipe and advanced the search with pork sausage and came up with a recipe that is suppose to taste like a spice cake...might be good. Remember when I was a kid my mom used to render lard. She used the cracklings in a cookie recipe that tasted like a spice cookie. They were good.
Also...I'm pouting...home again because of snow. Almost every school in the state is called off again and there are no travel advisories statewide.

Hi all! Well, I used to be, and am still, fond of peanut butter, mayonnaise and sharp cheddar cheese sandwiches. Has to be on sourdough bread. But - common sense tells me that I shouldn't do this very often! I suppose to oddest thing was in France in 1972. My first husband and I ordered snails, which we enjoyed, and were presented with a bowl heaping with snails the size of your little finger nail! They had been steamed in white wine and butter. The provided implement to get the snails out of their shells was a straight pin (like for sewing) that was stuck in a plastic bottle cap. They were good, but you can only imagine the work involved in eating something you were fishing out with a pin! LOL
To new adventures!

My Dad ate brains and scrambled eggs and he made hogs head cheese. As a kid I wouldn't eat anything if I thought it had anything strange in it. My younger son will eat almost anything and he can thank the neighbors. They cook wild game and odd things and would invite him when he was young. My grandmother would render lard and make her own cracklins. They would store the cracklins in a big jar in what they called the smoke house. It was an old shed with a sand floor and it was usually cool in there. My grandfather would put watermellons in there to cool off. When we were kids we would get a handful of cracklins for a snack. Cracklins around here are expensive and usually highly seasoned with red pepper.
In college when we got despirate for something we would eat dill pickle and mayonaise sandwiches. When we got to be juniors we didn't have to buy meal tickets so our diet took a real nose dive. I remember eating so much junk I would crave something green.
My parents were raised in Texas so my mother believed in frying everything. She could make the best white gravy and a lot of it. Mine isn't as good. My family's favorite meal is fried pork ribs.

I love this post. Brings back good family memories. I loved eating eggs and brains. I would still eat it but you can't find the brains anymore. Another favorite was peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. I like either sweet or dill pickles. Ketchup on cottage cheese, beef tongue, beef heart. I have eaten moose, bear, elk, ground hog, raccoon, eel. The list goes on. Somewhere in some country everything has been tried and is eaten. I figure if it is cooked it is food. Maybe not fried spiders but just about anything else. Ok, NOT BEETS!!!!

Love snails in wine and garlic, love beets with cottage cheese, put grits in my chile to thicken it, had chocolate covered ants in Albuquerque (kind of like a nestle crunch bar) rattlesnake and alligator in Fla (fishy tasting chicken, didn't care for either), love mountain oysters, fried chicken gizzards and hearts, oysters on the half shell, scallops on the shell, hate okra, it's like elephant snot, guess I'm pretty much a garbage gut! LOL! Oh yeah, had eel once, that was pretty bad. Like almost anything that comes out of lake or ocean ('cept the eel) but guess just a plain old ribeye is my fave. Oh yeah, boyfriend thinks it's awfull that I put peanut butter on my pancakes....seems about the same as a PB and jelly sammy to me, but he says not!

Louisiana has a new project, they are going to try to get people to eat the fish that have been in the news for jumping and hitting boaters. I think it is somekind of carp but they are going to call it Silver Fin I think. Some states are trying to poison them but not us, we're going to eat them.
A few years ago someone tried to get people to eat Nutria. That's a big rat looking animal that hangs out in the marsh. That didn't fly. They use to trap them for the fur but I don't think there is a market for it anymore.
